Each is equipped with business flow-based configurations, designed to meet the rapidly evolving needs of growing businesses. Oracle introduced two new versions of Oracle Business Accelerators for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, one for Industrial Manufacturing and one for the Engineering and Construction industry. “Certain industries have specific requirements so it’s important that Oracle Business Accelerators can deliver the functionality necessary,” said Cox.įor example, the engineering and construction vertical is highly project focused, so the accelerators are tailored to that functionality as well as including the normal components of ERP. The accelerators also target industries with large JD Edwards user bases, several of which have individual requirements that are quite different from more general ERP products. “Using the accelerators, our partners are consistently able to create an ERP instance within one to three weeks of starting the project,” said Cox. “They can be used to deliver a solution in the cloud or on-premise.”
The implementers select the business flows to be configured, the configuration tool generates a set of questions, and they then answer those questions in sequence as they are guided through the process. Once the project scope is confirmed, the configuration tool enables the rapid creation of a configured Oracle Applications instance that is ready for testing. This enables Oracle VARs and partners to sit down with users and compare each business flow with customer requirements. This includes Expense Management to manage and audit employee expense reports, Customer Self-Service which supports the administration and approval of disputes, and Capital Asset Management which helps service equipment, reduce repair costs, increase productivity and improve product quality.Ĭox explained that each business flow is illustrated in several ways: a flow diagram, in a video showing the business flow in the Oracle application, in an Oracle User Productivity Kit (UPK) simulation and in a detailed functionality overview. The new accelerators include best practices in the form of end-to-end business workflows, in tandem with a cloud-based configuration tool that installs automatically on Oracle Applications. “They are demanding complete choice: whether on-premise in their own data center, in the Oracle Cloud, in a partner’s private cloud, a SaaS offering or a hybrid.”

“Our customers want the shortest gap possible between purchasing software and using it, adopting best practice without sacrificing the flexibility needed to maintain competitive advantage,” said Steve Cox, vice president, Oracle Accelerate Global Programs. The ultimate aim is to avoid ERP implementations that drag on for months or even years.
#ORACLE JD EDWARDS ENTERPRISE ONE UPDATE#
Oracle believes the EnterpriseOne update reflects ongoing trends affecting the ERP midmarket, including the adoption of cloud ERP. JD Edwards has shown a historic strength in the midmarket.
“Our clients tell us the biggest barrier to ERP transformation is the perceived implementation time and risk,” said Kalanithi Venkatesan, president of Capscient. “Oracle Business Accelerators for Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne make implementations easier.” ERP Need for Speed Oracle Value Added Reseller (VAR) Capscient Corp, for example, uses these new tools to aid in software implementation. The accelerators are cloud-based tools designed to speed implementation of 25 business flows across 12 ERP modules, including financials, procurement, order management, inventory management and manufacturing. The latest Oracle update involves JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, which has been supplied with new Oracle Business Accelerators for the manufacturing and engineering/construction industries. As a testament to the value of that application and the loyalty of its user base, Oracle continues to invest heavily in JD Edwards despite having many other flavors of ERP at its disposal. Oracle has owned the JD Edwards ERP suite for nearly a decade, having gained the software with its 2005 purchase of PeopleSoft.
